Why are young people becoming more and more cautious about giving birth?

Young people nowadays seem to be more and more cautious about getting married and having children. Although the pressure factors such as overtime are often mentioned, the reasons for this phenomenon are far more than these. The following three points may reveal the real reason behind it for you.

Excessive economic burden

Giving birth to a child not only means huge material investment, such as nursery and school expenses, but also may bring heavy psychological pressure. In a highly competitive social environment, parents often need to invest a lot of energy and money to create superior growth conditions for their children.

Concept change

With the development of the times, late marriage has become the norm. The new generation of young people pay more attention to the quality of personal life, and the traditional concept of "raising children to prevent old age" has gradually faded. They are more willing to pursue the realization of self-worth, rather than falling into family chores early.

Life pressure and educational concept

Although the rapid economic development has improved people's quality of life, it has also put young people under heavier economic pressure. Mortgage and car loans account for most of their income. Coupled with education expenditure and future life planning, the pressure of having children is particularly great.
